We the people have a right to define the foundational structure of our own culture.

We have defined the foundational structure of our own culture.
It's called the US Constituion.
The fact that ~you~ think a majority of Americans find a non issue like gay marriage offensive and contrary to their moral standards is not a constitutional factor in our republican form of government.
The majority does not rule in the USA.
So who does rule in America? Let's ask Thomas Paine.
Excerpt from Thomas Paine's Common Sense
"But where says some is the king of America? I'll tell you Friend, he reigns above, and doth not make havoc of mankind like the Royal of Britain. Yet that we may not appear to be defective even in earthly honors, let a day be solemnly set apart for proclaiming the charter; let it be brought forth placed on the divine law, the word of God; let a crown be placed thereon, by which the world may know, that so far as we approve of monarchy, that in America the law is king. For as in absolute governments the king is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other. But lest any ill use should afterwards arise, let the crown at the conclusion of the ceremony be demolished, and scattered among the people whose right it is. "
